It should be noted: His will gives his middle name as Mennon, whereas his death certificate shows Mendon. His wife was the informant on the death certificate.
Further, Memnon "Mem" as shown on the memorial was provided by Debra King #48951435. She states: "That was my great grandfather. My grandma told me that his middle name was Memnon. His nickname was Mem."
I could not verify which of the above is correct. (Glenda Eisenhour)
